WWE published a new video of Goldust discussing Saturday’s Starrcade show where he paid tribute to his father Dusty Rhodes by appearing as “The Natural” Dustin Rhodes.

“It was pretty special,” he said. “It’s like when he was with me and Cody, and we fought The Shield, it was special. Every time I’ve been with him in the ring, it was special. But tonight, he wasn’t there, and it was very emotional for me. Standing behind the video wall, listening to the package they put out of Dad and knowing all those promos by heart. Just listening to it was just ‘Wow, this is so surreal’ and it just brought it back. It’s been almost three years since he’s been gone and it was just incredible.”

As previously noted, WWE announced that they would be bringing back the “Starrcade” name for their upcoming SmackDown event during Thanksgiving weekend on Saturday, November 25th in Greensboro, N.C.

For those not aware, Dusty Rhodes created the event back in 1983 with the first three shows taking place on Thanksgiving night in Greensboro.

Cody Rhodes responded to WWE bringing the event back and asked for the company to book his brother Goldust on the card.

Dear @MichaelPSHayes1

If you're afraid an event won't sell cuz' the holiday and want one of my Dad's events…at least book Goldy..

Cody’s wife Brandi was more critical of WWE’s decision to bring the event back and wanted the company to give credit to Dusty for the event:

Starrcade was created and delivered by Dusty Rhodes. WWE didn't want to do it while he was here. Now they want to do it and not give credit? pic.twitter.com/5ZLsoptjHE

While several WWE Superstars took to their Twitter accounts today and remembered fallen veterans for Memorial Day, R-Truth went a different route and used it as an opportunity to further his feud with Goldust. This didn’t go over well with several fans as R-Truth is getting a lot of heat over his reply to Goldust’s Memorial Day Tweet:

@Goldust Remember I'm gone getcha

Indie wrestler Ricochet issued the following remarks regarding Randy Orton’s recent comments about how indie wrestlers perform their matches:

“Guys, not everyone is going to like every style of wrestling. Same in any sport or music, movies & pretty much every form of entertainment. So just enjoy what you like! And I dunno about you all but I’ve always thought Randy was awesome! Still is! I just love wrestling, every type. Wish more people were this way. It’s an amazing art that I’ve been blessed to make a living from. I feel that us as wrestlers, expressing our style of wrestling is what makes it an art. Not someone else’s opinion of it.”

Goldust sent out the following tweet on the matter:
